Get ready for hilariously twisted political commentary when the striking new feature Hello Dankness arrives in US theaters on September 8th thanks to Film Forum.
Hailing from Australian art collective Soda Jerk, Hello Dankness has been described by the filmmakers as a “political fable” sampling 500+ clips to send up the spectacle of recent American politics.
Familiar faces from comedies and horror films become neighbors in a surreal suburban community invaded by the players of the 2016 election, from Trump to Hillary to Putin and more. The result is a wildly inventive and satirical remix illuminating the absurdity of our current political climate.
Having wowed at the Berlin Film Festival and other international showcases, Hello Dankness brings Soda Jerk’s signature avant-garde approach to the sociopolitical documentary form. Their work excavates the layered meanings in found footage to offer unique perspectives.
Blending laugh-out-loud humor with provocative observations, Hello Dankness promises to be one of the most original and scathing political films in years when it hits US theaters this September.
The Film Forum premiere marks an opportunity for American audiences to experience Soda Jerk’s brilliantly subversive slice of cinematic activism.
